Mr. Cuomo’s memoir will be titled “All Things Possible: Setbacks and Success in Politics and Life,” according to HarperCollins, which, like The Wall Street Journal, is owned by News Corp.

A spokesman for Mr. Cuomo declined to comment. A spokeswoman for HarperCollins, Tina Andreadis, confirmed the title, publication date and other details listed on the site.

The publisher and Mr. Cuomo have released scant details about the book, although HarperCollins adds that it will run 384 pages and will be priced in hardcover at $28.99.

Last summer, Mr. Cuomo hired a collaborator, a Washington, D.C.-based writer named Linda Kulman, to help him write the memoir. Her name, however, is not listed as a co-author.

By releasing the book in August, Mr. Cuomo will have it on bookshelves just prior to the height of campaign season. The governor, a Democrat, faces re-election this year, in November.

He was set to have completed an initial draft of the book by January, and has cycled through several revisions since then, according to people familiar with the matter.

In addition to the information on the HarperCollins site, a few other details have been released courtesy of a listing in “Library Journal,” which provides pre-publication previews of upcoming books.

“[H]e’s had some telling ups and downs on his way to Albany,” the publication writes, “So this memoir will discuss not just politics but family and duty, setbacks and successes, as Cuomo considers what his zigzag trajectory has taught him.”

The blurb also describes the publicity plans for the book by Mr. Cuomo, who rarely leaves the state of New York, as including “only a local tour.” Says “Library Journal”: “the guy’s busy.”
